In the North American grid, this rhythm is a steady 60 Hz, representing the delicate balance between total generation and total electrical load. Any imbalance—a sudden increase in load or a loss of a generator—will cause the frequency to deviate from its nominal value. The grid’s ability to resist this change is defined by its inertia. The Physics of Frequency Stability: The Swing Equation To an electrical engineer, the concept of inertia is best captured by the swing equation, […]
